Once in a blue moon there's a home designed to be in creative harmony with its natural forest surroundings. This fabulous artistic original is one. The lodge-like Great Room, with high open beams and rock accents, faces south to capture sun's warmth, resulting in net-zero energy use and a PGE bill of $15/month! "Live" trees in the entry, a real Madrone tree embedded in a secret door, a natural edged basalt sink, a craftsman's front door are all welcoming, functional and create a strong connection to the outdoors. Every room integrates natural materials in thoughtful design. The Primary Suite expands into a Bonus Room, currently used for exercise. Second Bedroom also functions as the Study with bark-edged built-in book shelves, an inlaid Murphy Bed, no closet. Third Bedroom has been used as a detached music studio. It's a 360 sqft space with a closet and covered front entry. It stands clustered around the terraced back patio and raised garden beds along with the open party "Clubhouse", a stone pizza oven (photo 38), a hot-tub, and a jetted swim spa/lap pool. There's also a matching storage shed. In the deep 3 car garage there's a handy workbench and a half bath. Colorful original artworks embellish the natural setting--a red tree design in the concrete patio, a tall metal Ben Dye animal totem in the garden, earth-toned ceramic potted plants, a cascading rock water feature, and more. This 5 acre property has an approved ground lease on a 22 acre property that's in a conservation easement intended to preserve the land for sustainable, organic practices. It sits way back off the road in a popular Oregon City country community. It's one-of-a-kind and very special. NO DRIVE-BYs PLEASE. By Appointment only!
